Bug#502430: Update on who's who.
Argentina's Government sucks, specially regarding doing things in a planned
way. In any case, here's an update on who's applying DST and who isn't.
It's a re-cap of where we stand right now.
Provinces that have confirmed that WON'T adhere to DST:
* Neuquén [NEW]
http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1060074
* San Juan
http://www.diariodecuyo.com.ar/home/new_noticia.php?noticia_id=308387
* Salta
http://www.saltaaldia.com.ar/general/1514.html
* Catamarca
http://www.diarioc.com.ar/inf_general/En_Catamarca_no_se_adelantara_la_hora_el_domingo/109585
* Mendoza
http://www.losandes.com.ar/notas/2008/10/9/un-385744.asp
* San Luis
http://www.diariodecuyo.com.ar/home/new_noticia.php?noticia_id=308026
Provinces that haven't yet made up their minds:
* La Rioja - will most probably not adhere
http://www.deriojanos.com.ar/detalle.php?not=25280
* Santa Cruz, Chubut - will most probably adhere
http://www.infochubut.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=11759
Provinces that have confirmed that WILL adhere to DST:
* Jujuy
http://www.lahoradejujuy.com.ar/index.php?option=com_content&id=4673:jujuy-cambia-la-hora-a-partir-de-las-cero-horas-del-domingo-19
* Santa Fe
http://www.infobae.com/contenidos/409567-100894-0-Binner-ratific%C3%B3-que-Santa-Fe-adelanta-la-hora-el-domingo
* Río Negro
http://www.appnoticias.com.ar/08/desarro_noti.php?cod=12582
* Corrientes
http://www.diariolarepublica.com.ar/notix/noticia.php?i=150471
* Formosa
http://www.formosaahora.com.ar/index.php?id=Leer&Nota=5222
* Tucumán
http://www.lagaceta.com.ar/nota/294544/Informacion_General/Gobernador_confirmo_Tucuman_adherira_al_cambio_huso_horario.html
* Córdoba, Buenos Aires, Chaco, Entre Ríos, La Pampa
http://www.mdzol.com/mdz/nota/77307-La-Argentina-se-divide-con-el-cambio-de-hora/
So, the current doubts are about La Rioja, which is very likely to not
adhere, and the South of Patagonia (Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego),
which are very likely to adhere.
Given the circumstances, I'd like to have a fixed package tomorrow, taking
the ones that are certain and including La Rioja (all the newspapers
mention it among the "rebels" even if it hasn't yet confirmed), even if
upstream doesn't release.
